Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 4 potatoes, large, peeled and thinly sliced
- 1 onion, large, thinly sliced
Seasonings:
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
Cooking Ingredients:
- 4 tablespoons vegetable oil or butter
- Fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
Instructions
- Meticulously cleanse and slice potatoes and onions into delicate, uniform thin pieces using a sharp knife.
- Position a robust skillet over medium heat, allowing vegetable oil or butter to warm and shimmer with culinary potential.
- Carefully distribute potato slices across the pan’s surface, creating an even, single layer that ensures optimal caramelization without immediate stirring.
- After approximately 5 minutes, when potato edges transform to golden hues, introduce sliced onions and gently intermingle the ingredients.
- Enhance the developing flavors by sprinkling aromatic seasonings – garlic powder, paprika, salt, and ground pepper – across the sizzling mixture.
- Continue cooking for 15-20 minutes, periodically rotating ingredients to prevent scorching and promote uniform browning, watching for potatoes to achieve tender, crisp edges and onions to develop rich caramel tones.
- Once ingredients reach peak golden-brown perfection, transfer the fragrant medley to a serving platter, optionally adorning with fresh parsley for vibrant color and herbaceous complexity.
Notes
- Choose waxy potatoes like Yukon Gold or red potatoes for the best crispy texture and even browning.
- Pat potato slices dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture, ensuring a crispier result.
- Use a cast-iron skillet for superior heat distribution and a perfectly golden-brown crust.
- Customize the dish by adding herbs like rosemary or thyme for extra flavor complexity.
